Iron Man: Armored Adventures (2008) s02e25 Episode Script
The Makluan Invasion (1): Annihilate!
2x25 - The Makluan Invasion, part 1 - Annihilate! He is a man on a mission in armor of high tech ammunition trapped on the edge of an endless game his teenage life will never be the same in a dangerous world, he does all he can he's Iron Man Iron Man It still amazes me that you turned the Makluan temple into your state-of-the-art base of operations.
I suppose I learned to appreciate a few of your history lessons, all those lectures about the rings and ancient advanced technology.
- It just seemed right.
- Well, it's darn impressive.
And a lot of good it's doing me now.
After all the things we've been through, Mandarin still got all 10 Makluan rings.
Look, this isn't over yet.
- Come on, son.
Cheer up.
- Why? For starters, it's your Why, with everything that's happened, I've barely thought about it.
Rhodey and I wanted to surprise you with a cake in the shape of Iron Man's helmet.
But we figured you probably weren't in the mood to celebrate.
I don't think any of us are.
Not with Gene out there.
Now all we can do is wait.
- We don't have to wait long.
- Does all this mean Gene's back.
Citizens of the world, I am the mighty, the one, the true Mandarin.
This momentous day, I pledge to you, I shall unite the entire world.
I will bring about an end to all poverty, hunger, and war and create everlasting peace.
What? That doesn't sound like Gene.
Maybe they were wrong.
Maybe he really does intend to use the rings for good.
And in return, humanity shall kneel down and accept me as the Great Khan of the world.
Now, that sounds like Gene.
but let there be no doubt.
Any who dare challenge my rule will face my wrath! This is all my fault.
If only I could've stopped Gene from getting the 10 rings.
I'm not going to let this happen.
I'm going to end this! Look, Tony, I'm right there with you, man, but the last time we faced him, he nearly wiped us out.
And now he's capable of destroying the world.
I'm not going to just stand here.
He has to be stopped.
Before you go flying off, I think I might offer a suggestion.
Despite their seemingly magical nature, the rings are actually an extremely advanced form of technology, and like all forms of technology, they can be susceptible to error.
These are the specs for the weapon you used against him in China.
All right, let's armor up with this bad boy and take Mandarin down.
We can't.
Mandarin destroyed the prototype, and that took weeks to build, but, Tony, if you and I take time to examine the data, we can find a way to expand the disruptor's range.
Mandarin is about to bring the world to its knees.
Time is something we don't have.
Listen to me.
You two don't have to do this.
Yes, we do.
We're all in this together.
No matter what.
This is insane.
Against the power of all 10 rings, you don't stand a chance.
Dad, this is who I am.
I have to do this.
I'm Iron Man.
This is General Nick Fury of S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
Stand down and surrender yourself.
You were warned the consequences for defiance.
Mandroids, capture and contain.
Heed my words.
A better tomorrow will begin by eradicating the agents of destruction.
Hill, launch wave two.
Your resistance is futile.
Resist this! You think you have power? Mandarin is power.
That can't be good.
General Fury, come in.
Nick General Fury, come in! Agent Romanoff, come in! Agent Hill awaiting your orders.
Full speed ahead.
Target all laser canons on Mandarin.
Roger.
Targeting systems locked.
Enough! What in the world? Wait.
I'm picking up traces of zero-point dark matter.
Oh, no.
We're in the negative side.
This is a modest display of the power I will unleash opon any who dare disrespect my Man, am I ever tired of hearing, "I rule this," or "I'm all powerful.
" Blah, blah, blah.
Gene, will you please stop this? - Give it up, Gene.
- You're going to listen! Now you shall suffer! Wait.
This doesn't make any sense.
This has to be a mistake Unless it's not coming from Mandarin.
Well, that could've gone better.
Bow down to the might of the Mandarin! None can challenge my rule.
I think you might have a challenger.
I hope they're the good guys Because a glue arrow ain't going to take care of this one.
What is that thing? It sure doesn't look like the S.
H.
I.
E.

Tony, do you read me? I'm kind of busy right now, Dad.
The Makluan energy readings have been going haywire every since the alien craft entered the atmosphere.
- What? - I've been looking at the video feeds, and I'm seeing what look like Makluan symbols.
Gene, what have you done? All across the globe people are talking about the sighting of an alien spaceship above New York city.
Both White House and U.
N.
officials say there has been no contact since their arrival, which happened not long after the mysterious Mandarin issued a proclamation for world domination.
We'll provide updates as they happen.
Wagabe, meet me in strategic operations for a full briefing, and ready the Quinjet.
It seems the prophecies are true.
This could be the end of the world.
This cannot be happening.
- Iron Man! - General Fury.
- Black Widow, you're alive.
- We ejected just before impact.
You need to call in reinforcements.
All communications with the helicarrier are down.
We're on our own.
We're contacting local FBI and law enforcement to be ready.
- Ready for what? - Full-scale invasion, but for now we need to gather intel.
We might be able to help with that.
What is the meaning of all this? Do you know who you're dealing with? By decree of the Makluan Overlord, you are hereby ordered to relinquish the 10 rings of power.
You'll just have to take them! Attack! Yield and relinquish the rings! The rings are mine by birthright, and I say never! - Never! - Impossible.
Now, half breed, kneel before me.
You may have Makluan blood, but you are not worthy to bear the rings, for only the purest of Makluans can wield their true power.
Come to me.
No.
But why, after all this time? My guess once Mandarin assembled all 10 rings, they must have somehow signaled the aliens.
- Any ideas how we can fight them? - We've got somebody working on it.
I've got a pretty good idea who.
Guys, I'm picking up something.
Anybody know how to say "nice to meet you" in Makluan? I've got a bad feeling about They're breaking formation! They're coming in hot.
Let's get out of General, come quick.
Let's take this away from here.
Well, this is rather intriguing.
How do you like me now? What is this? Red stuff doesn't seem to handle high frequencies too well.
So not how I wanted Nick Fury to first see me in action.
Try some of this! I am impressed you could wield the rings.
I could care less what you think.
You would be well advised to care for you have no idea the true power of the rings.
Forged in the heart of the first star were 10 all powerful rings.
The great prophecy foretold that the Makluans would bring order and peace to the universe.
Having conquered half of the cosmos, we prepared a great feast, but I was betrayed by a weakling who stole the rings and fled.
The Makluan guardian of the 10th temple perished at my own hand when I took the 10th ring.
Unfortunate.
He was my son.
I had long hoped for the day that I would see him again and disintegrate him for his treachery, but now my thousand-year search has ended.
The prophecy is soon complete.
The universe will be united under Makluan rule.
Sounds more like slavery to me.
Our intentions are one and the same, human.
We both want to conquer this world or destroy it.
I am nothing like you.
I recovered the Makluan rings because they are my destiny.
I'm Earth's savior.
You may have managed to obtain the rings, but I know you did not accomplish the task alone.
In fact it appears the humans who unwittingly helped in your quest harbor the idea they can challenge us.
I'd like that.
You wish to be savior of Earth? Let's see how worthy you truly are.
and intensify the disruptor field.
It's the only way we can stop them.
Right.
We'll need to assemble a team if we're going to what? Something tells me they're not exactly cheering for us.
Gene, what have you done to us? You're going to help me do what I intended to do save the world.
Although the circumstances have changed a little.
Today you can prove your planet's worthiness and true strength here in the Arena of carnage.
Not liking the sound of this.
I am not above barbaric nature, for I seek out entertainment and sport from planets before their annihilation.
The Makluan Overlord intends to attack Earth unless we defeat their greatest warriors.
Hold up.
You were just trying to take over the world, and now we're supposed to be teaming up with you? You may see me as an enemy, Rhodes, but I will do everything in my power to protect the planet.
Speaking of power, I see the Overlord has your rings.
So much for being "the Great Khan".
Uh, Gene, how do you expect to fight these warriors without any powers? I'm a gold tiger with more than 12 years of Bushu training.
I can handle myself about the rings just fine.
Thanks, but we've got our own.
Those who enter the Arena of carnage, we salute you.
Great Overlord, forgive me, but I don't understand why you allow this planet's respite.
What happens to these piteous simians here is inconsequential.
Filling our adversaries with hope before we destroy them amuses me.
What a great way to spend my 18th birthday.
- Don't say I never got you anything.
- Can I return it? Hey, Gene, is this your mother or your father's side of the family? - Stop it - Serves you What you talking about, Makluan? Say what? This is most vexing.
Let's see how you deal with this.
Are you kidding me? Wow.
That was ugly, but you lose.
You ugly half breed.
I'm sick of being called that.
A Makluan just fell to a half breed.
Must be the human in me, huh? Hey, lizard lips, taste this! You just got "pawned," son.
Whoo-hoo! We did it.
Uh-huh.
It seems we have our moments.
Most impressive, but the games are not yet over.
This was all prelude.
Prelude? Prelude to what? Now you will face our greatest Makluan champion The Berserker! Think the Overlord will let me run out and grab the Hulkbuster armor? Guys, are my systems glitchy, or are you getting these energy readings? It's all coming from him.
Hey, Rhodes, I think you're going to need bigger guns.
Go airborne! - Thanks for the rescue.
- Just trying to live up to my name.
This thing is like the hulk without the brains.
More like an organic energy reactor with a cyclical pattern.
Then let's do a little smash attack before he revs up again.
Pepper! Great.
Now I'm the damsel in distress again.
No way.
Just returning a favor.
Warning.
Armor integrity breach.
Take some of this! Okay, freak neck, it's payback time.
Pepper, you're feeding him energy.
You're only making him stronger.
That's it! - Pepper.
- I think my bruises have bruises.
Listen up.
The hammer it isn't just a weapon.
It's a valve.
When his body reaches its capacity, he has to release it through the hammer, or he'll hit critical mass.
Without his hammer, all that energy stays inside him.
That can't be healthy, like gas.
Whatever you got in mind, hurry it up because here he comes! Computer, reroute all power to defense.
All right, you two, give it everything you've got! With pleasure! Just a little more.
Route all power to the uni-beam! You want it, you've got it! Well, are you entertained? - What matter of trickery is this? - We defeated your champion fairly.
You lying, lowly homo sapiens, this will not stand! Now I will unleash my full fury upon you! I can't believe it.
We're alive.
Oh, not for much longer.
I suppose I learned to appreciate a few of your history lessons, all those lectures about the rings and ancient advanced technology.
